Look for flow specs available on good performance mufflers. Flowmaster is a
good brand.Warning...if you put dual exhaust on a v6 it may be louder than a
v8. I have a 3" catback with a specially made glasspack on my offbrand truck
(gmc syclone) that i own now, it is a v6 and it is pretty quiet untill you
nail the gas. Even then not very loud. K it came from A.T.R. I see in their
catalog they list a system for a 95 dak, dont know what engine, it is 3" id
mandrel bent all stainless steel and they claim it is 99.9 as free as a
straight pipe. They also offer a dual 2 1/2" downpipe, again i dont know what
engine, and they claim BIG horsepower gains with this item. (it may be off
road only). I wonder if the same exhaust will work on v6 or v8 since engine
appears the same sans the front 2 cylinders? Anyway Applied Technology and
Research, (864) 972-3800 in Fair Play Sc.
I hope this helps.
